B3 Wine and Bistro in Shenzhen's Futian COCO Park is designed by RooMoo around the concept of time, responding to the brand name formed by brunch, bistro and bar. The abstract idea of time is made concrete through three waves symbolizing temporal ripples. The first wave is an outdoor mirrored stainless-steel partition that moves in the wind to create the illusion of wave motion. The second wave, more continuous, overlays the entire ceiling above the bar and kitchen windows; at night, shifting LED lights create a feast for the eyes. The third wave, positioned above the indoor dining area, has a flat surface without brick or metal decoration, contrasting with surroundings to create a refined space for relaxed dining. The wall bricks read like a mountain cross-section, their horizontal layers and warm gradient evoking sedimentary deposits over time; when bricks reach the glass ceiling, they reflect like stainless steel. Materials, textures and colors are matched to the freshness of the food. The bar sits at the center of the facade and plan, separating dining on the right from kitchen on the left, serving as both a functional hub and a visual focal point that welcomes guests from afar. The 113-square-meter interior is complemented by 220 square meters of outdoor seating.
